FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the low FODMAP diet answered.

What does FODMAP stand for?

FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols. These are types of carbohydrates that can be poorly absorbed in the small intestine and may cause digestive symptoms in sensitive individuals.

How long should I follow the elimination phase?

The elimination phase typically lasts 2-6 weeks. Most people see improvement within 2-4 weeks. It's important not to stay in elimination longer than necessary - the goal is to move to reintroduction.

Can I eat out on a low FODMAP diet?

Yes! Check out our restaurant guides for specific ordering tips at popular chains. Generally, focus on grilled proteins, plain rice or potatoes, and simple salads with oil-based dressings.

What's the difference between low FODMAP and FODMAP-free?

Very few foods are completely FODMAP-free. "Low FODMAP" means the food contains FODMAPs at levels that are tolerated by most people with IBS when eaten in appropriate serving sizes.

Do I need to follow this diet forever?

No! The low FODMAP diet is a short-term elimination diet. After identifying your triggers through reintroduction, most people can enjoy a varied diet with only their specific triggers limited.

Should I work with a dietitian?

While not required, working with a FODMAP-trained dietitian can be very helpful, especially if you're struggling with the diet or have other dietary restrictions. They can provide personalized guidance.
